This is my 'I'm just standing here, waiting for someone to come marry me' look

After all that madness at Festival today, I ended it off with a lovely dinner with Wena, Terence & Alvin. Courtesy of Wena of course, she drew this coupon at Blackout. But not before coordinating the photoshoot for Amanda.

And while you might be confused after reading the title of this post, Amanda was in a velvety cheongsam dress and said that it was her 'I'm just standing here, waiting for someone to come marry me look'. Nice.

But the photo was of her other look - the wild 'fuckedup' look. (I didn't say that, she said it herself!)

Meeting Amanda was really cool, I like her music and I like her style, I like that she doesn't usually give a fuck about a lot of things (or at least gives the impression that she doesn't). And I like that she can put Gaiman in his place.

Indeed, they are so in love. But who isn't? :)

And you're saying....?

So today was the first day Neil Gaiman gets to Singapore and the first thing he does is go to Mediacorp for 2 interviews, one with Primetime Morning and another with Hamish Brown on Gold 90.5.

And we'd all been waiting for this moment to arrive, partly because it means the festival is finally coming to an end, but mainly because we've all been so excited to have Gaiman come to Singapore. A lot of preparations have been made, a lot of people were looking forward to this and I am one of them.

Meeting Gaiman is everything they make it out to be, he is funny, witty, lovely and charming. He is everything you want in a writer. He is funny. But we all already know that. I remember reading Good Omens (by Neil Gaiman & Terry Prechett) and thinking: 'These are really funny men!'

Anyways, I am glad that I got to meet Mr Gaiman at least once in my lifetime. It has been a great experience and he signed American Gods for me! Another reason to spend money on books: The award winning writer is RIGHT HERE, and if I bought a book, he'll sign it and I will have an autographed copy!!

Of course, that is the reason everyone else buy books - right right right??
